Step 1

Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Quarter lime. Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips. Halve orange. Roughly chop cilantro.

Step 2

In a small microwave safe bowl combine 1/4 of the onion, juice from half the lime, 1/2 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl combine sour cream with 1/2 tsp southwest spice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

Step 4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add green pepper and remaining onion. Cook stirring occasionally until browned and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat and transfer to a medium sized bowl. Wipe out pan.

Step 5

Heat another drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over medium high heat. Add pork and remaining southwest spice. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces until browned. Stir in chipotle, juice from oranges, and a squeeze of lime juice. Bring to a simmer and cook until pork is cooked through and sauce is thickened. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

While pork cooks wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel or Tortilla warmer and microwave 30 seconds.

Step 7

Divide tortillas between plates and fill with pork filling and veggies. Drizzle with crema and top with pickled onion (draining first) and cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
